Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

How dare he?How dare he?

What makes Cao An most angry is that he doesn't believe that the Jia family's son, who has only been in Ping'an County for less than a month, can control the Cao family's criminal evidence!
The Cao family has indeed done many inhumane things. If all of them were found out, they would deserve it even if they ransacked their homes and exterminated their families.

But when their family does things, they won't expose so many reasons for others to catch them.

The child had only been here for less than a month, how could he possibly have evidence that would allow the Cao family to confiscate their entire family?
There was no evidence of guilt, so why did he dare to order the arrest of their entire family?
Isn't the Jia family's child the number one winner of six yuan in a row?Not a great talent?Isn’t Jia Sheng’s promise worth a thousand pieces of gold?Isn't he crazy?Isn't he the apprentice of Zhao Heng and Zhao Pingping?
Why does he dare to act so unscrupulously?So bottomless?
You are a gentleman!Why is it so mean?

Shouldn't this kind of method be something only our family can do?
However, no one is destined to answer these many questions for him, at least not yet.

After taking down the entire Cao family, Xia Qing sent people to guard the Cao family, and at the same time sent people to the Bai family and Song family to ask them how they were progressing and whether they needed support.

Next, Xia Qing led people and began to search the Cao family.

When the county magistrate Jia Huan ordered him to raid the homes of these three families yesterday, he did not tell them what evidence they had.

However, there is never too much evidence, and it would be a good thing to find more evidence in the Cao family.

Not long after, the soldiers sent to inquire about the progress of the Bai family and the Song family came back, and the news they brought back was that the progress of the other two families was also very smooth, and they would be captured soon.

After all, it was in a small place like Ping'an County, and even if these three families secretly raised guards, they would not dare to keep them all in the family.

And their actions of ransacking the homes were so rapid that it was impossible for these three families to organize a decent resistance.

Therefore, the progress of the three armies was very smooth.

Not long after, a soldier came to report: "Xia's inspection found a darkroom in the Cao family's warehouse."

After learning the news, Xia Qing couldn't help but feel refreshed.

He stood up and said, "Let's go and take this inspector to have a look!"

Soon, Xia Qing came to the Cao family's warehouse. In a corner of the warehouse, two floors were opened, revealing a tunnel.

Xia Qing walked along the steps, passed through the tunnel, and quickly entered the dark room.

The darkroom is not large, only about the size of two ordinary rooms.

The things in the dark room made Xia Qing's eyes light up.

There were actually fifty pairs of armors and ten crossbows hidden in the dark room!There are also weapons such as knives and guns.

These alone take up most of the room.

There were also five boxes of gold, silver and jewelry. In a box in the corner, a large number of account books, house deeds, land deeds, and a stack of letters were found.

Xia Qing had no interest in seeing the contents of this box, so he ordered someone to lock the box and hand it over to Magistrate Jia tomorrow.

Next, Xia Qing called his deputy and said, "Zhao Er, take this box out and divide it among the brothers."

Deputy Zhao Er chuckled and said: "Yes, boss. Don't worry, boss, we will send your share directly to the boss's room."

Xia Qing stepped forward and kicked Zhao Er away. Zhao Er laughed and called for someone to carry the box of silver out.

This is a tradition in the military. These soldiers are all miserable, and there will be no benefit if they come out every time.

Over time, these soldiers will become disloyal.

After dealing with all this, it was almost dawn, and Xia Qing went straight to a room to squint for a while.

He also told Zhao Er to wake him up at dawn so that he could rush to report to Magistrate Jia as soon as possible.

……

Jia Huan went to bed very late last night but woke up very early. After all, he had something hidden in his heart.

When Yuanyang heard the sound, he quickly followed him and served Jia Huan after washing.Yuanyang saw that the third master continued to go out for running, boxing, and sword practice as usual.

Yuanyang's admiration for the Third Master increased again.

In fact, Jia Huan's real Qi-nurturing skills are far less powerful than Yuanyang imagined.

He is also worried now that the house raid will not go smoothly.

However, after all, we are human beings in two lives, and we still have some basic calmness.

After Jia Huan washed up again, Mo Da also rushed over and reported to Jia Huan: "Sir, my disciples of the Mo family stayed outside the three houses all night yesterday, and no fish was found to have slipped through the net."

Yuanyang also said: "Third Master, I just received the report, and I haven't found any fish that slipped through the net."

After learning the news, Jia Huan was completely relieved.

This shows that Xia Qing's ability is still very strong.

After breakfast, Jia Huan came to the county government office calmly.

Afterwards, inspector Xia Qing led a dozen soldiers and carried three boxes straight to the county government office.

"The next official pays homage to the county magistrate."

Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "There is no courtesy during the summer inspection. I wonder how the house raid is going?"

Xia Qing said: "My lord, everything went very smoothly. All three families were arrested and no one escaped."

"In addition, weapons, armor, and crossbows were found in the three families. These are all contraband. These items alone are enough to accuse the three families of rebellion."

"In addition, I also found some account books, house deeds, land deeds and some letters from the three houses."

"The lower official also has a group of subordinates who sealed it on the spot and have now brought it in."

"In addition, there are various properties of three families that are currently being counted. Because the number is quite large, it will probably take one or two days to complete the count."

Hearing this, Jia Huan couldn't help but feel refreshed.

He had already concocted charges for the three families to confiscate their homes and exterminate them.

I never thought that it turned out that there was no need to concoct it myself. They had already done the thing of confiscating the house and exterminating the family.

This is good, but it saves a lot of effort.

In fact, in this era, some aristocratic families often hid some contraband items such as armor and crossbows.

It is not too strange to find these things among these three families, and it does not mean that they will rebel if they hide contraband.

After thinking about it, Jia Huan said to Xia Qing: "Thank you for your hard work, Inspector Xia. Don't worry, I will take credit for you when the matter is settled."

"In this way, I will take people to personally inspect the contraband hidden in the three houses later, and then I will make a list and report it to the emperor."

"As for the other members of the three families, I would like to trouble you to keep an eye on them. At noon, I will interrogate the heads of the three families in public."

"After the interrogation is over, the head should be beheaded, and everyone else should be punished according to the crime."

Xia Qing hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Sir, this is a matter within the lower official's duties. The lower official must complete what the master has ordered."

Jia Huan nodded, and then asked Xia Qing to go back and guard the three families.

Next, Jia Huan said to Mo Da: "Mo Da, you and I will go there later. I don't need other things. Take the opportunity to put the scimitar into the Cao family's warehouse."

Mo Dah hurriedly responded: "Yes, sir." (End of Chapter)
